Yuan Dadu.
The Prime Minister was staring at the large and small utensils placed on the table with a gloomy face.
"Prime Minister! You see, these are simply not the tools that our Wood Clan can possess and know how to make earth, and this kind of pill is also unheard of! Even Mu Yu is a non-existent person, not in the clan register at all, please be sure to be the master for us! The current patriarch of the Mu clan, the current governor of Shangshu Mansion in Zhongshu Province, Mu Tzukuo said with a sad face.
"I know that! But if you want to calm the anger of the Geribu tribe, you have to ask your Mu tribe to hand over people to bear this matter, and the prime minister does not want to do so, but at this time, the tens of thousands of troops of Geribu are strangled in the area of Jiangsu and Zhejiang, which can deter the people of Quanzhou, and when I pacify Zhang Xiao'er in Taizhou soon, I will return the innocence of your Mu family, at this time you should know how to do it, right? Totoku said with a hint of green on his face.
Nageribsu Balche could have done 10,000 households in terms of merit, but because he was in office for 100 households, not only killed the Han people too much, but also was extremely cruel to his own subordinates, leading nearly 1,000 people to capture more than a dozen counties and prefectures in Yunnan and Guizhou, and the territory of the Dimu tribe was included in the territory of the Great Yuan, but in that process, he directly killed a hundred households in another tribe because of his merit.
It's just that this man, despite his fierce reputation, is one of the five fierce generals of the Gezhibumon people, and one of the most revered people in their tribal army, if he does not bring out the scapegoat at this time, I am afraid that Geribu will not listen to the command in the south, which is the last thing Tokhtar wants to see.
There are nearly 100 tribes large and small in the Yuan court, which are attached to the various factions in the Yuan court, and the emperor of the Yuan court can only be elected after election, although it is also selected from the imperial family, but if there is a slight change between the tribes, it will make the entire dynasty tilt in force, which is what Tokh does not want to see.
If it is said that the Mu tribe and Geri Busu Balcher, the Yongchuan County Commander, really have a hatred for destroying the country, this is the only one, no matter how Mu Tart Kuo explains, it is difficult to convince the tens of thousands of iron horsemen of the Geri tribe in a short period of time, and only one person can be pushed out to take the blame.
Mu Tart's broad body immediately became a few points shorter, and said: "That Mu Yu said that it was my nephew Mu Suli's attendant, what is this really about!" But since the prime minister needs to do this, then Mu Tart Kuo will hand over his nephew to you and let him be disposed of! I just hope you can clear my nephew's innocence in the future. At this time, his body was already trembling a little, obviously caused by the grievances and grief in his heart.
"Don't worry! As long as I am here, I will return your nephew's innocence! Totoh nodded with satisfaction.
It's just that he doesn't know at this time, what awaits him is not just to face Zhang Shicheng, but his final fate.
"That's all I can ask for. Rajah! Younger brother, oh no, the minister stole the medicine that the Shang Yu brothers were refining in the county order mansion in Yongchuan County, and ordered the shopkeepers of several pharmacies in Gaoyou to inspect it, and they said that this pill can have great benefits for the body. Lu Zhong took out one of the pills stored in the porcelain bottle and handed it to Zhang Shicheng to look at.
"Not only did this little scholar not die after falling off the cliff, but he actually learned to refine medicine, killed more than a dozen people in the county government to escape without a trace, and also has a very lethal hidden weapon, is this kind of steel needle?" Zhang Shicheng's eyes kept jumping from the pill to the steel needle placed on the table, and then turned to look at the account book written by Shang Yu on the table, and couldn't help but be surprised.
After Lu Zhong arrived in Quanzhou this time, he spent two days and nights searching the account rooms in the shops of the Lu firm, but he never found a business plan, so he could only reluctantly take a few copies of the account books that Shang Yu had written in the purchase of a house in Lu Mansion and came back to his life.
"Lord Wang! Not only that, but the Shang Yu brothers' books are also extremely simple, and the gentleman in charge of the military accounts in our army said that the calculation method between these accounts is different from that of his predecessors, but it is more useful, and that the person who can write this kind of account book must be a wizard of mathematics. Lu Zhong said more excitedly at this time.
"Wizards? Where is Shang Yu now? I thought that Shang Yu was just an ordinary boy when he was in Quanzhou, but he must have had an adventure after falling into the cliff, otherwise how could he not only manage the accounts, but also make these pills, and write business plans, and kill more than a dozen soldiers from the Yuan Soldiers Iron Cavalry in a row? Zhang Shicheng sighed at this time, holding the account book written by Shang Yu in his hand and shook his head.
"The minister is not doing his job well, and he is willing to be punished!" Lu Zhong immediately knelt down with some shame and pleaded guilty.
"It's not your fault, brother! Hurry up, now I regret not listening to Brother Shen Fu, just slow down and become the king! At this time, the Yuan court army has continued to increase troops to our border, and although our army currently claims to have more than 100,000 soldiers, they are all farmers who have not really fought in battle, how can they face the thunderous momentum of the Yuan army's iron cavalry? Zhang Shicheng said with a sigh.
He shifted his gaze from the account book in his hand to a map with a radius of hundreds of miles posted on the screen on his side, which he had asked someone to draw in a hurry, and the map showed that the surrounding Yuan army had already begun to increase troops at various critical passes, and soon he Zhang Shicheng would really face the regular army of the Yuan army.
"Thank you, Lord Wang." Seeing that Zhang Shicheng ordered him to get up, Lu Zhong thanked him for his kindness before standing up, but he didn't understand Zhang Shicheng's sigh.
"Brother Lu Zhong! Since you have returned this time, you will be responsible for the transfer of grain and grass in the army, which is the fundamental key point of our army, and I can't rest assured that I will hand it over to others, so I will send some people to various places in my spare time, and try to find talented people to serve in the army. Zhang Shicheng saw that Lu Zhong didn't understand his thoughts, so he suppressed the sigh in his heart and said.
"Thank you, Lord Wang!" Lu Zhong was a little unhappy in his heart at this time, he would rather charge into battle like when he attacked Gaoyou, how could he know the importance of this kind of escorting grain and grass?
It's just that he thought in his heart: "Since Brother Shang Yu is not dead, then I will find him one day and bring him to my eldest brother." He was also a little resentful of Zhang Shicheng's previous words.
When Shang Yu woke up again, it was already when the fleet was heading north, and he had a rope tied to him! He had a boatman to feed him.
He still remembered how Li Yanhong treated him at that time, re-ordered his acupoint, and drank so that he could only call her Mrs. from now on, and then he didn't wake up.
He didn't know why Li Yanhong treated him like this, but he knew one thing in his heart, in the eyes of a nobleman like Li Yanhong, he Shang Yu was just a subordinate, nothing more, how could a subordinate be worthy of marrying Di Lu Wan, who was a young lady?
For several days, Li Yanhong did not see him after he woke up, but on the fifth day, Li Yanhong finally appeared in the small cabin where Shang Yu was, and sent the boatman who was watching Shang Yu away.
"Shang Yu, from now on, your name will be Song Thirteen, and only my nephew Shen Fu knows your true identity in the Zhouzhuang realm! This is because I remembered that you once saved my daughter, so I left you a way to live, otherwise if you don't kill you, you will be directly handed over to the government for disposal. You are really bold, you dare to kill the Yongchuan County Commander, and I will not return your crossbow to you, lest you use it again to cause trouble, if you kill someone again, no one will save you. ”
When Li Yanhong said this, she didn't have any expression on her face, but the cold glint in her eyes made Shang Yu a little afraid to look at her.
"Yes, ma'am! But Xiao Wan and I swore to heaven that we would become husband and wife, and we would never give up forever, and even if I died, I couldn't change my faith. Shang Yu said these words at this time, and his face also showed a hint of disbelief.
"Xiao Wan has long thought that you have died, and now you are in the empty door, believing in my Buddha! If you are not a mortal person, you can't miss her anymore, even if she is still vulgar, I will not allow her to meet you, what can you give Xiaowan? Identity, status, security? You can't even guarantee your own safety, how can my daughter Li Yanhong marry such a lowly underground person as you? Li Yanhong said with some annoyance when she heard Shang Yu speak.
Shang Yu said angrily: "With my ability, three meals a day, the family will be able to get food and clothing, then power and wealth are things outside the body, how can those things talk about the relationship between me and Xiao Wan?" Even power and wealth I could have obtained in a few years, but I didn't care about that. ”
Unexpectedly, Li Yanhong looked strange after hearing this, and said slowly: "Listening to this, you also have a little ambition here, so wait for you to have some achievements in this world and then talk to me about Xiaowan!" ”
"Later, you will go ashore in Zhouzhuang, you can't talk to people too much, after entering the Shen Mansion, Shen Fuzi will arrange for you to work as a person, if you can be obedient, there will be a day to meet Wan'er, if you talk nonsense, then the gods can't save you, do you understand?"
After hearing this, Shang Yu thought for a few breaths, and said in his heart: "What Xiao Wan's mother said is not unreasonable, it's just that she looks down on me too much from a common person, which makes me a little annoyed. In fact, there are also soldiers and horses of the Yuan court near Zhouzhuang, although there are not many, but if I am found on the Li family's ship and want to go to the Shen family, it will inevitably drag down the Shen family. Master Cousin is also good to me, and I can't be rude. ”
Thinking of this, he nodded and said, "Madam! I listen to you, except that you always have to untie these ropes, and I have been tied to you for too long. His body was very uncomfortable, and he naturally wanted to be released in a hurry.
Li Yanhong saw that Shang Yu agreed very happily, and couldn't help sneering and said, "I hope you can remember my words, otherwise I will definitely take your life first." ”
Shang Yu fell into her hands, and once heard her talking to the brother surnamed Li, that is the place where he must not be let go, anyway, after meeting his sister later, he will tell Shen Fu his true identity, and let Shen Fu decide how to arrange Shang Yu, that is, Shen Fu wants to kill Shang Yu, and she Li Yanhong will not stop it, as long as she does not kill Shang Yu with her own hands, she is worthy of her daughter.
Shang Yu was about to answer, but he heard Li Yanhong continue: "A few days ago, the matter of your appearance in Hangzhou was spread everywhere, and even several state capitals in Yangzhou and Suzhou had officers and soldiers searching for you, if you stay in the Shen family in Zhouzhuang with peace of mind, you will have a way to live, if you run out, you will be caught soon, you can do it yourself!" ”
At this time, I heard the boatman outside shouting at the bow of the boat: "Madam, Zhouzhuang Wharf has arrived!" Are you disembarking now? ”
"Come aboard with me from now on, and don't talk nonsense." After Li Yanhong said this, she stretched out her hand and brushed it on the rope that bound Shang Yudi, and the rope broke immediately.
Shang Yu slowly stood up at this time, but he thought in his heart: "If Master Liu is here, compared to Wan'er's mother, who of them will be more powerful?" ”
Just as he was thinking about this strange thought, because his legs had been tied for too long, he almost fell into the cabin under the lack of blood, and hurriedly leaned on the bulkhead to stabilize his body, and then a trickle of warm current passed into his body from the small coat, and the discomfort in his legs immediately subsided.
"Why don't you catch up?" Li Yanhong's cold voice came at this time, which made Shang Yu calm down.
"Why do I think so badly? At this time, when I hide my identity, and be stable for a period of time, and then set off to Yangzhou, I think that Xiaowan's mother can't lock me up for the rest of my life, as long as I can find someone to contact with the business alliance, I can find the whereabouts of Master Lu, if I carry out my business plan, I can become a small rich person in a few years, then why worry about this lady despising me again? ”
The business plan was completely in his mind, but Lu Shaobei had instructed him not to mention this matter to anyone from now on, otherwise he would have to worry about his life, but if he used it for himself, there would be no problem, thinking of this, Shang Yu hurriedly agreed, and followed Li Yanhong out of the cabin.
After coming to shore from the boat, Shang Yu felt much more comfortable, and the feeling of being grounded was always much stronger than the feeling of shaking on the boat.
"Our son-in-law has been waiting here for a long time, and the housekeeper Shen Tong welcomes Madame." A middle-aged man dressed as a housekeeper stood on the dock and bowed to Li Yanhong and said.
"Auntie, nephew Shen Fu has greeted you!" Shen Fu stood next to the housekeeper and saluted Li Yanhong, wearing a satin cotton robe shining dazzlingly in the sun, looking like a wealthy man, but he was too young.
Shen Fu became famous in Zhouzhuang at this time, and the head of the Zeng family in Suzhou lost his beloved son Zeng Ziyi, and died of heartache a few days later, Shen Fu took the opportunity to acquire more than a dozen stores of the Zeng family, and at this time he was already famous in Suzhou, known as Shen Wansan.
Hearing that his mother said that his aunt, who had been missing for many years, was going to take a boat, Shen Fu's mother Li Yinzi immediately instructed him to come to greet him and put away the goods properly.
"Get up! Your aunt hugged you when she was young, but she didn't expect that she is now the head of the Shen family, the richest man in Suzhou, this time your aunt came to visit your mother, and the second is to hand over this subordinate named Song 13 to you, this Song 13 knows the general situation, Song 13, and I haven't come to see the young master. Li Yanhong couldn't help but nod after seeing Shen Fu, she admired Shen Fu very much in her heart, and changed her words, but beckoned Shang Yu to come forward to salute.
Shang Yu immediately stepped forward to salute, although he felt awkward in his heart, but he said respectfully: "Little Song Thirteen has seen Young Master Cousin. ”
Shen Fu heard the familiar voice, took a closer look, and almost called out Shang Yu's name, but as soon as he thought about it, he understood why Li Yanhong asked Shang Yu to change his name, although he didn't know about Shang Yu as Mu Yu, but after the Lu family escaped from Quanzhou, he also heard a little about Lu Wan and Shang Yu, but it was not too detailed, but Shang Yu participated in the battle between the dart division and the defenders of Quanzhou Mansion at that time, but it had already spread all over the country, although Shang Yu was not not famous, but Shen Fu knew that the official mansion would definitely arrest him.
This time, he was able to run the Shen family's industry so smoothly, thanks to Shang Yu's book, but Shen Fu had a subtle feeling for Shang Yu in his heart at this time, but it was difficult for him to say for a while, whether it was jealousy or gratitude, he didn't understand.
"It turned out that my aunt gave me a subordinate, so I don't need to be polite!" After Shen Fu figured out this section, he immediately waved his hand to signal Shang Yu to step aside, and at the same time handed Shang Yu a look, which was a clear look.
Shang Yu immediately retreated to the side in understanding, while Shen Fu said, "Auntie, please get on the sedan chair!" Mother is waiting for you at the house. After that, he pointed to the four people carrying a sedan chair on the bluestone road outside the steps behind him and said. (In ancient times, except for eight people who could carry the sedan chair when marrying, the rest of the people were only allowed to carry the sedan chair by four people in the rich family, and even the official family was not allowed to take the eight-lift sedan chair without authorization, which was a very strict system at that time.) )
